IndIa's FavOritc Food.

Ghce is prepared by boiling fresh
drawn milk i'll earthcn pots for an hour or
more and adding, after it has cooled, ii
little curdIcd milk, says the ST. James
Gazette. The curdlcd mass is then
churned for half an hour, some hot water
is added, and the churning continued for
half an hour longer, when the butter
forms. This butter is then boiled until
all the watcry PARTICLES and curds have
been thrown off by repeated s~kimmings.
Tao clear oil is poured into IL vessel to
cool, and the %granulatcu mass thus
formed is ghee. 1t is kept in earthen
pots and sold Mt banyas' shops at the
rate of two pounds to three pounds for a
rupee. If we'll made, ghce will keep
good for years, losing its flavor some
what, but not its properties, which i'm
prove with age. In some Old families
you will find ghec cvcr 100 years old,
buried under the earth in carthcn jars.
Instances arc known of the preservation
of ghec without faint, for 200 years, and
even longer. Ghce is an article of great
commercial Importance in many parts of
India, being exported to all the sea
coasts of eastern and southern Asia to
the extent of 400 to 500 tons annually.
According to the statistical authorities,
I, 1886, 433 pounds of ghcc were exported
from India in the year 1s79-SO.
All but the poorest classes in India,
whether Hindoo or Mohammcdans, use
ghec for ordinary cooking purposes.
Where the English cook uses butter,
suet or lard, the Indian uses ghce. In
frying potatoes, in cooking dui, in cook
ing s~weetmeats, in preparing tasteful
dishes, the upper aud middle classes
always use ghee, which is also rubbed
over chupaties, the flat flour cakes serv-
ing for bread, and poured ovcr rice Mt
the time of eating. One of the secrets
of the fine flavor of India made currics
is the use of good ghcc. And neither
Hindoos nor Mohammedans will touch
any food that is cooked with ghcc which
they believe to be adultcrated with p'g's
or cows fat.
Ghee is believed by the Hindoos to DC
the purcst eatable thing under the sun.
The widow, who is forbidden to partakc
of all luxurious food, is allowed to take
ghee with her simple bread of rice. The
self-dcnying jogees, sunnyasis, and
other ~ascetics sometimes live on nothing
but ghec. Al wcdd ings, funerals, and
on other great occasions public dinners
must be given, or the offending party
will be punished by accommodation
from caste. Most of tho dishes that arc
served at these banquets arc prepared
with ghee. At many festivals aims con-
sisting of rice, dai, md swcctmeats arc
given to the Brahmans, and must be
cooked in ghcc. The food set before
tho Brahmans at feast times consists
mainly of sweetmcats, in the prcpara-
ton of which ghee enters largely. At
crcmations ghcc is poured over the
corpse and on the funeral pyre.

EXTRANEOUS AID IN THE PEND
INC CONTEST

While the people of Texas were cele-
brating San Jacinto day the National
Protective Association of distillers and
wholesale liquor dealers was holding
secret session at the Burnett house, Gin
cinnati. 1t is understood, not alone
through current rumor, but the admis-
sions of members as well, that the lead
ing topic discussed by the association
was the best method of dealing with the
prohibition movement in Texas. The re-
suit of the deliberations, or the conclu-
sions arrived at, have not been made
known to the public, for as above stated
the session was a secret one. The only
information vouchsafed tC outsiders was
found in this utteranCe of President
Atherton, who said to reporter: owe
shall advocate the imposition of such
license as will keep the retail business in
the hands of respectable men, and urge
the strict enforcement of all police regu-
lat1ons against low dives" 1t must be
that in thus speaking Mr.. Ather-
ton had reference to the general
policy of the association of which he is
the head, for it IS rather late in the day
to discuss the high license policy, at
least so far as that policy can affect the
campaign in Texas. The issue is made
up here, and it is clear-cut-whisky or no
whisky. The discussion of high license
and strict police regulations, as rene
dial measure, in dealing with the liquor
traffic, may DE laid aside until the people
settle the pending question. II prohibit
ton is defeated then there will be Oppor-
tunit for such discussion, but not now.
Manifestly, if the wholesale liquor inter-
est have decided to take any part in the
Texas camPa' gn, it must have determined
upon more vigorous measures than the
mere presentation to the people of the
excellence Of high license system. If it
is not prepared to furnish substantial aid
for the conduct of the anti-prohibition
campaign it were better that it should
hold aloof from any participation
in the contest, content itself with
playing the part of a spectator and
leave the people of Texas to settle the
question. Such q course will inure,
most decidedly, to the advantage of the
anti side, for if the impression gets
abroad that the wholesale liquor interest
of the Union, known to be vastly wealthy,
is furnishing money to help fight the anti
battle in this state, the result must be
perhaps as Instantaneous as helpful to
the ants. THE GAZETTE does not as
sumo to say such aid and expenditure of
money will be illegitimate. If the whole
sale liquor dealers end the brewers want

THE WEEKLY WORTH, FRIDAY APRIL

TO contribute millions of dollars TO aid
their friends and customers in Texas,
they have right to do SO. The question
for them is to consider whether such aid
will be polite. It is THE GAZETTE's
opinion that if such q policy is pursued
and becomes generally known to the
people of Texas the rural vote of
the state will be arrayed, almost solidlY,
in favor of the amendment. City voters,
as rule, will not stop to analyze the
propriety of extraneous assistance, no
matter to which side it comes, but the
average country voter is more scrupulous
in his ideas about such matters, and holds
that plain proposition, submitted to the
people of Texas for settlement at the
ballot box, can and ought to be adjudi-
Gated without suggestions or money from
sources outside of Texas. The same
arguments will apply with equal force to
the prohibition, as well as to the anti
side, and THE GAZETTE warns each camp
to beware of extraneous assistance, for
it may prove Trojan horse.

IT may be safely assumed mat the Gal
weston convention knew what was best
for tie Democratic party organization of
the state. And it is of questionable
propriety, to say the least, for quasi or
proclaimed independent newspapers to be
cracking the party whip over those who
have their party conventions word for it
that no one has the right to crack the
whip in this prohibition contest. Prohi-
bitlon is no more partisan question than
is the Interstate commerce law, or the
government of Indians, or any other act
of regulation. In the discussion of a
measure that discloses Arch Cochran and
James Newcomb as leaders on the one
side and Jerome Kearby and Wash Jones
as leaders on the other, what trickery it
is to call on Democrats to array them
selves, as such, with either party. Dem
ocrats should not be deceived by the
specious arguments addressed to their
fears or to their fidelity.

II THE Democratic party can be rallied
to favor or oppose prohibition, then the
Democratic party can be rallied to favor or
to oppose local option. There isn't al
argument, from a partisan standpoint,
applicable to one that is not applicable to
the other. If prohibition is anti-Demo-
cratic, local option is anti-Democratic. If
local option is Democratic, prohibition is
Democratic. If either is sumptuary, both
are sumptuary. Both are forms of regu-
lation, and it is a matter of public policy,
not of party principle, when either is
deemed necessary. The Democratic
party, as such, has no place in this con-
test, and no wise friend of the party will
seek to drag 1t into this struggle.

EtS Use Drives a Negro Insa' ga Tragedy

Special to the Gazette.
LoNGvIEw, TEX, April pa most
horrible tragedy is reported to have
occurred last week in the neigh
borhood of where the cor
ners of the counties Of Pamela and Rusk
touch the south boundary line Of Harri-
son county. A negro named Caleb Foster
having q severe headache was told to use
coal oil as remedy. In its use he com
pletely saturated his wool with the fluid.
This occurred III the morning, and by 2
O'Clock in the afternoon he was noticed to
act very strangely, but nothing to indicate
the terrible ending was observed. About
O'Clock he suddenly ClutChed his little
three-year- old son by the legs, and twirl
ing it's body over mis- head started on
run toward the bottoms, followed by the
terror-stricken family, the wife and boy
of fifteen, keeping him in sight for about
two miles, when he eluded them, in the
meantime having dashed the chlld's
brains out against tree. Unable to find
him help was obtained, and in the early
morning he was discovered seated on the
ground, his child in his arms,
and from its body he was tear
ing mouthfuls of flesh and
splitting them upon the ground-himself
raving maniac. He was caught aud taken
home, where for three days he gradually
grew sane, being necessarily watched.
On the third morning he missed the
presence of the little boy and asked for
him, but was not told Of his fate. He has
no recollection of even the least act in
the horrible drama.

Timely Warning.
Ceicago Herald.


The smsrtest and best thing yet said by
the interstate commission is that it has
full power to deal with railroad compan-
les which purposely seek to embarrass
communities or interests in order to
bring the law into disfavor, and that it
will do so with stern hand should oC-
casion arise. 1t is noticed that, while no
railroad management has failed to take
instant advantage of the clauses which
clearly operate to the advantage of the
transportation interest, there has not
been that care not to impose
unjust restrictions upon Others
which a fair and honest observance OF
lfhe law would demand. While no spe-
cific charges are anywhere made 1t is
doubtless true that some arrangements
have yielded to an impulse to make the
law odious by. rulings which are not war
